The County ticket.

We have assumed in the present cam
paign, as We always have heretofore
done, that every Democrat will support
the county ticket which has been nou-
mated in accordance with the establish
ed usaGes of tha party, unless some
sound and overwhelming reason exists
faily justifyicg him iE his refusal to do
so. When a man is nominated for a
county cfice according Ia the method
adopted at a popular election by his
party, he IS entitled to sllid support.
unless he is clearly incompsten. or pro-
cured his nomination through fraudulent
or corrupt means. Testing the different
county candiGa'sS by this common sense
rule, IS any one OF them unfi; for faith
ful and satisfactory discharge of the du-
ties OF the Ctlice for which he has been
nominated. No such charge has been
made by any fair minded man and none
eau be msdy with the least regard tor
the truth. Neither. so far as we know.
has il been imputed 10 any OF them that
his nomination was brought about by
fraudulent or corrupt practices. In
addition 10 all this the personal charac-
ters of the nominees cannot be assailed
successfully, for the reason that each of
them enjoys the confidence ard respect
Of the community in which he resides
and where he is presumed to be best
known. Thus measuring fully up 20 the
a. I
OF honesty" aud competency" it is
the plain and imperative duty Of every
Democrat To give the ticket which he
himself helped 10 nominate. willing
and enthusiastic support. No meaner
or more dIshonorable act can be CON-
mitted by a man calling himself Dem
ocCat than u attend the primary cleo
tion, vote Tor his own favOrite candidate
for particular o1i:e, ths candidate
having publicly p'rdgsd himself To
abide the result, and then at the gene
raj election vote for the Republican can
didate simply because his own man, who
had the same fair and equal chance of
success as the other aspirauts, was de-
feated. Any Democrat who will so
vote and thereby weaken or possibly dis.
rupt the organization OF his party is
without the shadow Of excuse for his
conduct. Party success at an election
in any county is powerful motive to
active participation in the campaign,
and especially so when the candidates
on the ticket have bseu fairly nominated
and are men of fitness, honesty. and Of
good character. We trust therefore that
the leading and active Democrats in
every election district IN the county will
make it certain that united vote is
polled on next Tuesday week for the
present deserving aud regularly nomi-
mated county ticket.

THE hearing of the petition for a writ
of error in the cases o: the Chicago An
archiS,s came up before the full bench of
the Supreme Court of the United States
at Washington, on Friday last. Mr..
Pryor, OF New York, stated two points
upon which he relied as sufficient to
warrant she granting of the writ, and
after a short colloquy between him and
Chief Justice Waite. an order was made
that th5 case should b. taken UP for
final argument on yesterday. The ar
gumeuts would probably last through
two or three days, aud we will be able
toanuouuce the result in our next week :

THE following from the New York
correspondence of the Philadelphia Re
cord, shows the sincularly expensive
manner in which Henry Georges Anti
Poverty Society" is run.
The organization has three large
rooms at Cooper Union AZ 81, 200 rent,
where a secretary. who receives 5000
a year. prssides. His poverty is thus
abolished. An Assistant Secretary re-
ceives 81 600, and 81, 200 is expended on
three clerks and boys. Pamphlets, ora
tors. stationery, gas snd other items of
expenditure swell these sums largely.
aud while no one knows where the
money comes from it is evident that the
anti-poyerty dodge is one tha, pays. 1t
also costs several hundred dollars to
tire the Academy of Music for Sunday
night meetings, and the collections DO
not come up to the cost. The sale of
certificates Of membership at 81 each
must be going on at a lively rate to give
such large protits.'

The worlds Bfsrest PIE

The Queens jubilee has been tardily cele-
brated in a novel fashion At DENLY Dale and
had 1t not been for the disorderly behavior
of the people the event would have been a
complete success. DENLY Dale has for
long time been celebrated for its pies. In
1873 there was one baked in commemoration
OF the recovery of George Ill another was
baked in 1915 IN honor of the peace another
In 1876 in celebration OF the repeal of the
corn laws, and now a pie has been baked
which Is described as unequaled in the an
mails of pie-bakiDg 1t is recorded of the
last pie that it was put on platform, which
gave way, and the pie slipped to the ground;
that crowd OF fifteen Thousand people
surged forward. A scramble ensued, and
amid a wild turmoil the stage was utterly
demolished and the pie flung to the winds.
Something like this, but not quite so bad,
occurred at DENLY Dale. A tremendous
crowd OF people focked from Bradford,
Hudersfeld, Rarnsley, Penistone and the
small villages within a radius of eight OF
nine miles of DENLY. Before noon tie peo.
pie took up position outside the barriers
which had been erected to keep off the crush,
while the old people OF the village of DENLY
Dale and the school children of DENLY. Den
served with portions of the pie.
The baking took place in a special oven
The pie was feet 10 diameter and 2 feet
deep, and contained Ga stones Of -four, l.
$50 pounds of beef. $50 pounds of nation.
16O pounds of veal $50 pounds of lamb. go
pounds of pork, 40 pounds of lard. 30 pounds
of bu tier, 81 couples of rabbits, hares. 40
fowls, 40 pigeons, II grouse, q ducks. 1
plovers. l turkey, > geese and 100 small
birds, together with 80 eggs and 40 stones of
potatoes, 40 pounds o: beef suet and 40
pounds or drippings. The baker was Mr.
Z. Workman, of Halifax. The pie weighed
about 500 pounds. In the morning il was
taken on stone cart, drawn by ten horses,
to field called Norman Park. lent for the
purpose. When the pie reached the field Il
was taken into an enclosure and left there
for inspection, 1t was intended that when
the old people and children had got seated,
Mr.. Henry Briefly, the chairman of the com
mittee, should make little speech, but this
was cut short, for directly the pie had been
taken under one end of the tent in which il
was TO be served TO the PEOPLE, the strong
wooden barriers against which the crowd
pressed gave way, and multitudes rushed
into the tent up to The stone cart, a scene OF
great confusion ensuing. In vain were the
people appealed to. The stronger the an
peal, the more they rushed into the tent,
and the pie crust rapidly disappeared, being
either given or forcibly taken away. 1t was
not until promise had been made that
when the old people and children had been
served tue pie should be brought into the
field and distributed shat the hungry mob
could be- appeaSed

COTTONWOOD, July 10, 1Ss

COTTONWOOD, July III, 1851.
EDITOR PRESS Your able and SYM
pathetic address touching the grave Of
that brave scout and he per in the Nez
Perez war should appeal to the heart
of every dweller on Camas prairie.
We commemorate decoration day
everywhere, as our grandest tribute
to the sons of the United States who
fell in action. Does not the memory of
this brave scout deserve something at
our hands? Something as you suggest
should be done, and that quickly, to
render sacred these remains. Would
it not be good and wholesome idea to
interest, apart from the grown citizens,
our little children in the charitable
work of erecting a monument to his
memory? A Sunday school fund would
be of great benefit to our children who,
thank God, know nothing of the inse-
curity of those days. The full commu-
nifty churches, schools and private
citizens should cooperate to keep green
the memory of William Foster.
Yours truly, NANoN.

Mr.. L. M. johnson arrived here on
the evening of the Bird inst, from War
rens, where he has mining interests.
He brought with him two grades of gold
dust, which he sent to the U. S. assay
office at Boise city. Yesterday Mr..
johnson received returns from the assay
Office which indicated that the Warrens
gold dust is Of good quality. One
grade assayed $3.50 per ounce, while
the second grade showed $17. There
are at present about seventy-fve white
men and between 400 and 500 Chinese
at work mining in the Warrens district.
and taken as a whole the old camp has
a prosperous appearance and a very flat
tering outlook for the future, In the
Alton district, twenty-five miles from
Warrens, four men are at work running
q tunnel on the Cleveland mine. A
good trail will be opened, during the
district, and many other public i'm
provements will be made in that region.
-Weiser Leader.
Gen. T. A. Clark arrived here from
his survey up the Weiser river on the
evening of the End inst. The remain
der of the party came down on the
evening OF the Bird. Mr.. Clark and par
ty met Mr.. Van Arsdel at point about
twelve miles south of White Bird. The
survey, MIR. Clark tells us, finds the dis
lance from here to Lewiston to be two
hundred and eighty miles via the Wei
ser river and Little Salmon. From the
mouth of Burnt river, down Snake river
the distance to Lewiston is only one
hundred and eighty six miles. From
Salmon river on to Lewiston the route
surveyed is simply terrible rough. the
estimated cost of construction being
about 100000 per mile for over fifty
miles. There is probably twenty
miles down Snake river that would cost
1000 per mile. The road was located
as far as the lower end of Salubra VAL
ley, and from there on to Lewiston the
survey was only preliminary, being
made for the purpose of making esti-
mates of cost and construction. From
Weiser to the lower end of Round val
ley, on Little Salmon river the average
cost of construction would be about four
or five thousand dollars per mile. Mr..
Clark and party commenced operations
here the 18th day of March last and has
been hard at work ever since.-Weiser
